MMSP-08 Call for Papers (please look at the New part of Introduction
to Keynote Speakers!!!!)
MMSP-08 is the tenth international workshop on multimedia signal
processing. The workshop is organized by the Multimedia Signal
Processing Technical Committee of the IEEE Signal Processing
Society. A new theme of this workshop is Bio-Inspired Multimedia
Signal Processing in Life Science Research. The main goal of MMSP-2008
is to further the scientific research within the broad field of
multimedia signal processing and its interaction with other new
emerging areas such as life science. The workshop will focus on major
trends and challenges in this area, including brainstorming a roadmap
for the success of future research and application. MMSP-08 workshop
consists of interesting features:
* A Student Paper Contest with awards sponsored by Canon. To enter the
contest a paper submission must have a student as the first author
* A Best Paper from oral presentation session with awards sponsored by
Microsoft.
* A Best Poster presentation with awards sponsored by National ICT
Australia (NICTA).
* New session for Bio-Inspired Multimedia Signal Processing
SCOPE
Papers are solicited in, but not limited to, the following general
areas:
> Bio-inspired multimedia signal processing
* Multimedia processing techniques inspired by the study of
signals/images derived from medical, biomedical and other life
science disciplines with applications to multimedia signal
processing.
* Fusion mechanism of multimodal signals in human information
processing system and applications to multimodal multimedia data
fusion/integration.
* Comparison between bio-inspired methods and conventional
methods.
* Hybrid multimedia processing technology and systems
incorporating bio-inspired and conventional methods.
> Joint audio/visual processing, pattern recognition, sensor fusion,
medical imaging, 2-D and 3-D graphics/geometry coding and animation,
pre/post-processing of digital video, joint source/channel coding,
data streaming, speech/audio, image/video coding and processing
> Multimedia databases (content analysis, representation, indexing,
recognition and retrieval)
> Human-machine interfaces and interaction using multiple modalities
> Multimedia security (data hiding, authentication, and access
control)
> Multimedia networking (priority-based QoS control and scheduling,
traffic engineering, soft IP multicast support, home networking
technologies, position aware computing, wireless communications).
> Multimedia Systems Design, Implementation and Application (design,
distributed multimedia systems, real time and non-real-time systems;
implementation; multimedia hardware and software)
> Standards
